Supreme Court ruling on immunity

The Supreme Court recently ruled that former presidents, including Donald Trump, have absolute immunity for official acts, but not for unofficial ones, affecting ongoing legal proceedings against Trump related to his alleged election interference. This ruling has been sent back to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals for further consideration. In response, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer introduced the 'No Kings Act', aiming to limit the Supreme Court's authority over presidential immunity cases, asserting that Congress should dictate the applicability of federal laws to presidents. Schumer's legislation seeks to counter the Supreme Court's July decision, which has drawn criticism for potentially undermining democratic principles. Additionally, a constitutional amendment proposed by Rep. Joseph Morelle reinforces the notion that no individual is above the law, reflecting widespread concern regarding the Court's ruling and its implications. President Biden has also called for reforms, including term limits and an ethics code for justices, amid dwindling public confidence in the Court.
